Mom,

We love you.

We are only acting out of love.

You have Alzheimer’s, a form of dementia.

Your short term memory is about 5 minutes.

You were not eating, drinking water or taking your medications downstairs.

You fell many times and had to go to the hospital.

We can no longer provide the level of care and attention that you require.

We moved you to the memory floor.

There are professionals and an increased staff here to help.

They will give you better care and attention than we can.

We feel that this was the best way for you to get better.

You can’t remember or understand how much help you actually need.

We know you don’t agree with this decision.

We discussed this with you before you were moved.

It was a very difficult and painful decision.

We are just as upset about this as you are.

Remember this.

You will always be loved!
